Petrillo Music Shell is named after James Petrillo who, as president of the Chicago Federation of Musicians and commissioner of the Chicago Park District, used his leverage to provide free concerts in Grant Park. A popular concert and fireworks display celebrate the eve of Independence Day here, and it is also the main point-of-entry for the various summer music festivals, such as Jazz Fest and Gospel Fest.
